I have purchased two recent issues through Zinio as I am a fan of electronic subscriptions. I noticed though that I do not have access to the disc media with these purchases. I was considering subscribing for a longer period of time but I would like to know if that subscription counts to get the online access to the disc media as well as the archives? I have purchased print versions as well in the past and I am a big fan of the discs that get packaged with the mag. Sorry it this question has already been asked, I did a really quick search and did not turn anything up.

Hi there,

Currently, access to the disc ISO torrents is only available to those who take out printed edition subscriptions.

Is this, or indeed access to the pdfs, likely to change? I'm considering a Zinio sub myself, having finally got a tablet that's acceptable for more than casual reading.

Unfortunately the Zinio subscription is a service that is operated outside of Future Publishing so we do not have any access to those subscribers in order to allow them access to the subs only area of the LXF website. This is something we hope in time to be able to do but not possible at the moment.

Regards,
Katy

Okay, thanks. It looks like I'll be sticking with paper for a while yet then.

Subscription by Zino must provide access to the archives in order to fully be able to enjoy the entire magazine. Several articles refer to DVD for further reading.
